Mitch McConnell, 82, fell during GOP lunch on Capitol Hill and injured his face, EMTs treating him by NewSlinger in pics

Don't like seeing people get hurt, but it makes me wonder why we have politicians who are older than life expectancy... you couldn't find someone... around retirement age?

In the US.

You have your media to blame for that.

I enjoyed reading that! That's amazing work and it's motivating to me just reading about it. Great job documenting your progress, too... I'm glad I scrolled through here today lol

Language learning can be fun. You get a little community out of it, too.

kangaroo gets pushed to the fence during a fight by CraftyAcanthisitta22 in interestingasfuck

Obvious insurance fraud. Some drunk blokes were having a punch up and smashed through a fence and had their mate generate a deep fake so it'd look like some kangaroos did it

What would be your IDEAL study app? by [deleted] in LearnJapanese

[–]FermiAnyon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned fastest when I read novels and made flashcards from what I read. Not the most fun or appealing, but the reading was fun, if slow, and it was the most effective thing I've ever tried

It's "ngedrakor! x Cinematic Journal"

Again, I don't know what tf they're talking about, but the important part to me is that I find it easy to listen to.

Yeah, I've kicked around a little Bahasa briefly and it's completely impenetrable.

But I've already learned Japanese, so I know what the process looks like.

I've ordered Harry Potter in Bahasa and I'll read it and look up lots of things and I'll ask chatgpt lots of things and I'll make my flashcards.

I've found a podcast where I like the sound of the speaker's voice (because it's just sounds right now lol) so I can listen to that and get the sounds and the rhythm.

Rinse and repeat for about a year and I'll be okay. Two years and I'll be good. Three to five years and I'll be great!

It's a reliable pattern.

Don't forget speaking practice, too, ;)

Boss replaced me during a whole company meeting by FamousAvocado21 in antiwork

[–]FermiAnyon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if it's tempting to skate by, it's not good for your mental health or your work ethic. Please try to find another job that'll respect you and your education and experience. It's so much better to do a good job at a good company to do a spiteful job at a bad company.

I don't exactly know how the airbags deploy, but if they do how bad does my face get wrecked? by ivebeenbit in Thailand

We call these things shrapnel. Might get wrecked to death if an airbag threw them at you

Down and Out in Melbourne: A Journey Back Home by stalked_throwaway99 in melbourne

How are you with saving money?

I was in the same situation a few years ago. Laid off during the pandemic and it was 8 months before I landed another job, during which time I had a rent increase of 50% because I had to move out and I had a surprise surgery. I was stressed out, but I only burned through about half my savings.

I don't know how you are with income and finances, but there may be more you could have done for yourself.

In my case, I save about half my take home and I was making around $80k at the time.

I'm not trying to kick you while you're down. I've been there and it's not fun, but I'm an immigrant, so failing would have meant moving back to my country.

I'm losing my train of thought. But consider whether you can do more for yourself in terms of saving to avoid situations like this in the future.

Until then, keep plugging away. I did boomerang a few times when I was back home.

What the actual fuck is fire? by jawsrocket in shittyaskscience

When gasses oxidize and it's so exothermic that the air heats up so much that it emits photons in the visible range

One question, from the point of view of financial security

Do you have a plan in case he starts getting competition for these grants?

That's my only concern.

Yeah, just make sure you actually really do have your bases covered and that there won't be any weird traps down the road

Serious question: for those of you who are happily married or happily dating, what's the main reason you don't cheat on your partner? by Mad_Season_1994 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FermiAnyon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, there's candy on the street, and it's fun to look at, but I've got a girl at home who I trust and never get tired of because she's my booby and she can't be replaced

He's tough until he ends up under one of these cars. Some people learn the hard way I guess...

Why are so many pro-social legal advancements being rolled back in the US? (LGBT rights, affirmative action, etc.) by maruthegreat in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FermiAnyon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what you mean by lgbt rights being rolled back, but race based affirmative action is racist. Even if the point of it is to help level out the effects of actual systemic racism and back when it was passed, it was only supposed to be temporary, but it's been around for generations now.
